Drainage Contractors in Langley
The larger lots and rural-suburban character of Langley mean drainage work on a bigger scale — larger yards with more surface area to drain, perimeter drains on homes that are 30 to 50 years old, and properties where the storm connection is a long way from the problem area. We work across both Langley City and Langley Township on yard drainage, French drains, and perimeter drain repair and replacement.
Larger lots and longer drain runs
On a larger Langley lot, a drainage problem in a far corner of the yard can be a long way from the storm connection or a safe discharge point. That means longer underground runs, more fall needed to carry the water, and sometimes a sump pump to lift water to where it can discharge. We plan the whole route before digging — a drain that cannot reach an outlet is just an expensive trench.
Clay soil and mature trees in established Langley neighbourhoods
The established areas of Langley — Brookswood, Murrayville, Fort Langley — have larger lots with mature trees and the dense clay soil that covers much of the Fraser Valley. That combination means slow-draining ground and root intrusion into older drainage and sewer lines. A drain that blocks repeatedly in the same spot usually has root entry through a joint or crack, and a camera inspection shows whether the line is structurally sound and cleanable or needs a repair or replacement.
Basement waterproofing, wet basement repairs & drain inspections in Langley
Water in a basement is rarely just one problem. It can be a failed perimeter drain letting groundwater in at the footing, a crack in the foundation wall, or a waterproofing membrane that has broken down over decades. We start with a drain camera inspection to see what is happening inside the pipe, then determine whether the fix is a wet basement repair, basement waterproofing with an exterior membrane and drainage board, or damp proofing of the foundation wall to stop moisture wicking through the concrete. For older Langley homes with original drainage, the answer is often a combination of drain repair and waterproofing — and we show you the camera footage before recommending anything.
How a drainage system protects your Langley home
Most people never think about their drainage system until it stops working. Here is what a complete system looks like — and where water goes when everything is doing its job.
Rain on roof
Gutters collect it
Downspout
Carries it down
Membrane
Protects the wall
Drain rock
Filters the water
Perimeter drain
Collects groundwater
To sump/storm
Discharged safely
A working drainage system moves water off the roof, away from the foundation wall, and out to a safe discharge point — before it can build up against your foundation.
Before & after — Langley drainage work

My Langley property is large and the wet area is far from the road. Can it still be drained?
Usually, yes — but it may need a longer run to a storm connection, a dry well, or a sump pump to lift water to a discharge point. We assess the lot, the available outlets, and the fall available before recommending a plan.
Tree roots keep blocking my Langley drain line. What are my options?
If the roots have entered through joints but the pipe is still structurally sound, root cutting and hydro jetting can restore the line, often on a recurring maintenance schedule. If the roots have come through a crack or the pipe has collapsed, a repair or replacement is needed. A camera inspection shows which it is, and removing the tree is rarely the answer.
